In a new weekly update for PV -MagazineSolCast, a DNV company, reports that South America saw widespread above average irradiation in January, despite weak La Niña conditions. However, storm systems that are fed by Atlantic moisture oppressed the generation of solar energy in parts of Brazil and Bolivia. February 14, 2025 Dissolved South America saw above-average radiation in January, despite weak La Niña conditions. However, storm systems that are fed by Atlantic moisture oppressed the generation of solar energy in parts of Brazil and Bolivia. According to analysis using the Solcast APIRadiation varied from a maximum of 15% above average…
From PV Magazine 2/25 The imminent direct current (DC) voltage shift from the standard of the solar industry from 1.5 kV to 2 kV, such as the previous step of 600 V, promises cost savings and efficiency profit. It will again challenge PV manufacturers and developers, which must weigh technical progress and specialist products against economic viability. Some have already found the balance in favor of 2 kV. A 182 MW project, 2 kV was built in China in 2023 and at least one American pilot site was active in 2024. Why 2 kv? In principle, higher voltage makes more…
